I want a 4.2 V8 Jag XJ, preferably ex-government, with the fridge in the back & all the toys including memory & adjustable rearseats,  electrically adjustable pedals, touch screen media centre and V8 smoothness.

Josh will you take 1 x 2.2 LPG Omega & 3.2 Elite

took a quick spin today in a xj8 4.0 supercharge jobbie.

Headroom a bit low, trim spot on, chassis corrosion? , chaindrive?? . still very nice sound and drive. Consumption. If you have to ask, dont bother..

Did i forget to mention the performance.

I'm 6ft5, found headroom ok when I adjusted what I wanted.

One I saw did not have any bodywork corrosion, or though did not have a chance to look underneath. No sign in the engine bay either, just a nice big V8 in there 

Current owner was averaging 27mpg, which is what I get from my 3.2!


(sorry should have put this in General Car Chat)

Rear suspension needs looking at, think something was amiss - probably just a tired shock, but wasn't riding bumps at speed too well

Tunnie, if you think the insurance for your Omega is bad, get an eye watering quote for the Jag

Indeed. Supercharged will do high teens driven reasonably sensibly but single figures with my driving style... Better on a run though

I must say I've always had a soft spot for the XJ, had an 04 XJR once upon a time, 7 MPG was an average after resetting the trip computer and seeing how quick it was (god it did fly  ), I do find them cramped compared to 7 Series', S-Classes' and A8's however.

I'm not doing any, that would end the dream

I noticed a slight wobble from back when "pressing on" at speed around the by-pass, but I was giving it some.

Yeah 27 average was from non-supercharged, I always said it had to be supercharged, but if I'm honest in standard form it had plenty of go!

Not masses of room I agree, but its on of the few cars I've instantly gone "ahh this is a nice place to be" - The middle arm rest, was just in right position, the bonnet view, dials, position of the pedals. I could have sat there all day.

I even offered to drive Josh home, just to drive it some more

I hope you wasn't, else that would be disappointing. Even n/a, they should pick up its old man skirts and take off.

Get an XJR, there are so few of them they qualify for classic insurance.  It's mostly cheaper than a miggy to insure
